One heck of a way to wake up: The two suspects in the Boston bombing appear to be Chechen brothers, oe is dead, and there are now reports of explosions heard as police surround a house. Short version is that apparently the two brothers Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarneaev may have been involved in a robbery attempt, that led to a carjacking, which led to multiple run-ins with law enforcement. Sadly, an MIT police office, name unknown at this time, was killed by the brothers in one of these events. Godspeed to him, and thoughts and prayers to his family and friends. In addition, a MBTA transit police officer, Richard H. Donahue, Jr., has been wounded and is hospitalized. Thoughts and prayers out for him. More soon. LW UPDATE 1: Clarification -- Tamerlan was killed last night in a gun and explosive firefight with police. UPDATE 2: Boxing card for Tamerlan here, Gym where Tamerlan was training here, photo of him boxing here, slideshow of him during training here. UPDATE 3: BBC coverage here, WCVB Boston here, WHDH Boston here, MyFoxBoston here. UPDATE 4: Interesing article where AP claims to have talked with suspects father. If true the disconnects are interesting and telling.
